Will I need to travel to see a specialist?

"Yes, Guilin has a wide range of medical specialists available to provide specialized medical care. People can go to public hospitals or medical centers, or to private medical facilities for highly specialized care. Additionally, there are a number of private clinics for specialist treatments and surgeries. The larger public hospitals have more extensive resources, and offer a variety of treatments, including traditional Chinese medicine, western medicine, orthopedics, TCM, pediatrics, cancer treatment, ophthalmology, and more. For more complex issues, many people choose to travel to larger cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, or Guangzhou, where they can find highly specialized care and access to the latest medical technologies," remarked another expat in Guilin, China.
